According to the poll, 39% of managers are urging tax reform, 17%
want reform of entitlement programs, 15% said infrastructure
spending is their top concern, and 10% picked defeating ISIS and
stabilizing the Middle East.

If the election were up to them alone, the race would be
deadlocked, with each candidate receiving 31% support in the
poll. But most of the managers think America will elect Hillary
Clinton over Donald Trump, in a 60-40 poll result.

With Wall Street contemplating a Clinton victory, it's no
surprise that money managers think tax reform is the most
pressing economic issue.

As Business Insider's
Bob Bryan recently outlined, Clinton said she plans to
prevent corporate inversions, in which companies move their
headquarters overseas to pay lower taxes. She has also proposed a
"fair share surcharge" that would increase taxes by 4% for people
who earn over $5 million a year.

Meanwhile, Trump has said he would cut the unusually high US
corporate tax rate from 39% to 15%.

"If we were to cut corporate and marginal tax rates in this
country, we'd get more capital coming back to the United States,"
he told Business Insider in an interview before Barron's poll
results were published.

"It's all about improving the incentives to want to invest and
create jobs."

The Barron's poll also found that 45% of respondents were bullish
or very bullish about the market through mid-2017; many who were
neutral in the spring turned more positive in the latest poll.
